Shecky’s Media, Inc. is working as hard as ever to make sure women have no excuse to forgo a night out with their girlfriends. This summer, the company is continuing its hugely popular multi-city Girls Night Out event, which allows young, stylish women to enjoy specially discounted fashion and beauty items, cocktails, and the famous overstuffed Shecky’s goodie bag—all for a reasonable ticket price.

Originally a publisher of nightlife guides, Shecky’s became a multi-platform company in 2002, adding events and original editorial Web content to its offerings. In addition to Girls Night Out, other popular events include Beauty Night Out and Beauty Week, both in New York City. And all year round, Sheckys.com keeps women in the know with content such as fashion articles, how-to makeup videos, and bar and club recommendations.
